Clearly they're good at what they're doing. Why all the stops and starts, Dan?

So, now, I'm supposed to give up on all of these model cars and devote myself to flying model airplanes. Hmmmm. I do see women there. So it must be another country. Yeh, that's it. I'm in the wrong country.

What I did see once was a huge model of a B29 powered by four chainsaw motors - impressive as.

Not sure but the lightning 1-man pit crew is F-1 caliber.

Only a hog calling contest or hot dog eating match could eclipse this riveting sport.

R/C combat is great fun to participate in. Control line never did work for me.

What I really love though is R/C acrobatics. Took me several tries and helicopters to master flipping one over and hovering upside down. It's also cool to watch the masters tail sit a prop plane. I haven't quite mastered that.
